Thanks, To be honest it's a little hard to say, I probably use the rapier more for tight groupings and the Evo for looser grouped liners for power lining etc. I've had the rapier alot longer than the evo though so i've got my head around that machine more, weirdly enough i've been using the Santa Maria for alot of small lining and really like it, and that machine is meant for grey shading. I do rate both machines which is probably not what you want to hear but you can go wrong with either in my mind
